Ah the memories eh? I had a Digital Group Z80 system with a keyboard that encoded the keypress as an 8 bit value that could be read by the computer It was 6 bits of key press and one bit for shift and one bit for control. I actually know where it is though, it's in a computer museum in Germany (long story).

I read a tongue-in-check short story about an elf walking through a human museum.

"We think this urn was once used in agricultural ceremonies"

"Bitch, that's my coffee pot!"

Reading comments from older devs sometimes gives me the same vibes.

My wife was looking at the mini REI museum of camping gear and her back packing camping stove (a SVEA 123) which she still uses, was identical to one of the artifacts on display.

Making coffee is an agricultural ceremony!

That keyboard? I used it to kick off my coffee machine every morning.
